Excavation destroys burial markers
by Marsha Shewczyk
Excavation was suspended on a
rock crushing operation near the
Deschutes River after several pos
sible burial markers were disturbed.
Warm Springs Crushing and
Construction Company, owned by
Ted and Mickey Brunoe, removed
rock in a location containing a
rock cairn. The contractor had
been directed to stay away from
that area.
Both Ted Brunoe and his grader
operator assured Tribal Council
andHeritagecommitteeandothers
that they were aware of the location
of rock cairns. They also agreed to
excavate in a location not visible
from the Deschutes River.
The permit application was ap
proved for a one-time entry to
removed 10,000 cubic yards of rock
needed to fulfill a contract the rock
crushing company made with the
State Highway Department. The
tribe was to receive 50 for every
cubic yard of material removed.
An investigation the day excava
tion was scheduled to begin revealed
a trench approximately 10 feet deep
and 15 feet wide passing through
the area where the uppermost rock
cairn features had been located.
One cairn was found still intact on
the edge of the cut. The trenching
opertion passed within 30 feet of
the remaining group of rock cairns.
According to tribal archaeologist
Dan Mattson, Brunoe related he
had not been satisfied with the size
and condition of the gravel in the
lower slope previously agreed upon
and he intended to remove gravel
from the steepest and uppermost
portions of the tallus slide. The
removed rock would also be in
view of the Deschutes River.
Mattson also said that the exca
vation permit was quickly sent
through an environmental assess
ment and other channels because
Brunoe needed to meet a contract
deadline. Little time was allowed
for public input-
Concern from state officials at
the Land Development office was
expressed when local rafters called
to find out what was happening on

Deschutes River had been widened
considerably and the grader was
excavating the hillside on what was
designated a scenic waterway.
It was recommended to Bureau

immediately. It was felt that Brunoe
was violating a contract and he was
in trespass.
